Auckland: Then and Now 

This is so cool, transitions are so clean! I'm surprised it hasn't got more views. Awesome work!

Excellent. So much has gone, nice to see what remains.

One of the best if not the best before and after videos out there

That was nice. Really well done and really interesting.

Winkleman is a legend......... Thank god he had the access to plates and shot everything that he did -- as mundane as it probably was at the time its so significant now. His shots from the top of college hill looking back to the city are remarkable as well.

Just came across this. Fantastic video

Wow, some really great memories i do remember. thanks for the video.

Awesome transformation over time, thank you. 👍

Absolutely amazing ! 10 out of 10. I think it is so important for us to respect the history of our Cities and towns . The architecture the architects the photographs and photographers and the stories . Great work !

I live off Queen St and watching this was amazing to see the changes! This is awesome!

Well done putting this together

My best friend, It's always great. We liked and enjoyed to the end. Thanks

Such an enjoyable montage - will share it!

God bless us and think good, speak good and do good always in your life coz it is your own body or soul. Thanks God for the gifts of wisdom I'm sharing with you all. From Lani D. Nepomuceno, Philippines

wow, I wish the editor of the video did other cities like Sydney....such a shame the old buildings at the waterfront were destroyed....we take for granted the beautiful intricate facades of old buildings...its a lost art in architecture design today

They busted up some really cool buildings once upon ago.

Love the video

i cant believe ive walked past some of these building not knowing how old they are

Born and breed Auckland’s and this is beautiful, good work.

Wow 👌 👏 😍 👍🏾 🥰 ☺ well done

Great stuff, loved it.

Watching from Fiji... Aweeesome video. Today's buildings are so ugly compared to the old days.

Well done to you ,very creative

Very good.

awesome! you should add the former hotel cargen at 8 Eden Crescent! It is a beauty built in the 1880s but has been sitting derelict for a decade now

Fantastic! Please do some more, maybe Newmarket, Mt Eden or out along Tamaki drive?

Great video matey!

Nice historical video

Love this so much!

How time flies!

Nice work! I found this completely by chance. I know it is not easy to get exact matches like these - well done! Looks like you have worked out exactly the equivalent focal length to Winkelmann's camera. Are you prepared to share?

Very well done.

I know most of Auckland going way back to the 1800 even whangarei in Auckland in the 1800 you manly got off the boats on Victoria Street Auckland Central behind the old Auckland central Council building on Aotea square there is a tunnel that goes all the way under Grays Ave all the way to Avondale Military Base witch in the 70s and 80s after the the second World War they turned it into the Auckland Original race course the Auckland city mission was the Auckland central first pub in 1800 my Great Great gran uncle's that Served in France in 1914 During the first world War Sargent Major Louis Nathan and Major General Andrew Murray both use to Drink in this pub plus my Great Great gran pa Thomas emery From Te Kopua Te Awamutu DOB 1888 Died October 1965 when I was 11 years old i always asked my Great Great Aunty if I could look though her old photo album and man some of her photos she showed me went way back to when the Very first Edmunds cook book started I'll never forget it now I'm try to find my cousins from whangarei I've haven't seen since 1989 if there mother or sisters kept some of the old photos album because there is alot of history in it even before the first world War started in 1914 because my Great Great gran Aunt older sister was born in 1910 and my Great Great gran Aunt birth is 1919 and today I'm still talking about it at the Library I've even got News papers cuttings that goes back to 1901 I've got alot of history that the Auckland central Library hasn't had but only on Microfilm on on the Original black & White Original News paper

God bless us start and end your day with our ALMIGHTY GOD. THANKS

Good work

Are there any construction photos or building plans for these ornate old buildings with huge high ceilings doors and window's? Have never seen any. I also notice the bottom row of windows are often half underground.

1:44 That's kind of sad.

This so well summarizes the essential character of Auckland - what was once ornate and beautiful _technically_ remains so owing to the fact that most of it is still there, but it’s dominated by menacing, badly planned and ugly postmodern glass + steel behemoths . . .

From attractive Edwardian city to soul-less eyesore

Omg, looks so much better today.
